THE HONOR OF A PRINCE.
Another Interesting Piece of Evidence in the
Controversy Concerning Maximilian.

Cry OF MEXICO Sept. As an additional
piece of evidence in the controversy regarding
Maximilians 8 conduct at Queretaro. the follow
ing note, purportine to be the autograph of the
Emperor. is published to-day:
''QuERETARo June 13. 1867.

the imperial house and family of Austria, at
Vienna are only valid on the day of my COM
plete salvation, due to the colones mentioned.
"MAxIMILIAN."
1t is seen by the Spanish original that the
construction follows the rules of the French lam
guage in place, and that the general con-
struction is not according to the genius of the
Spanish language The note is written on
piece of common, thin yellowish paper. The sig
nature is said by the editor OF the Monitor Re-
pubilcano to be exact fac-simile of that
of Maxmilian ascertained by the examina-
tion of state papers. The question which agi-
tates the Mexican press may be reduced TO this:

With two exceptions. il is stated at the pay
department, the arrearages are the result of in
formalities in the manner of payment, errors in
calculation of fraudulently signed vouchers.
In vouchers suspended. not
withstanding the payments were made upon
written authority OF the Secretary of
War. The two exceptions in the
of Bash, who robbed. and
of Mcclure. against whom the large
checkage noted has been pending for twenty
three years and which incurred during the
exciting times of war, when accounts were not
systematically kept now. About $25. 900
of the amount Mcclure claimed to have turned
over TO another paymaster. whose receipt he
has never been able TO produce, and consequent
" the accounting officers were compelled to
hold him responsible for the amount. He
has been before the Court of Claims,
Supreme Court and Congress. but he has thus
far failed to obtain relief. 1t is this
him that the Comptroller's action will fall most
heavily. It is the intention of the Comptroller to
call him to account without delay In the case
of Maj. William Smith, who is checked with
So. 635, the suspension upon a voucher for
services rendered by expert witnesses in the

Bridgman and Sharp account of fraudu-
lently-signed vouchers. Major Candee paid a
claim of 81, 1877 to the wrong man. which ac-
counts for his Indebtedness. Ignorance or
rules and careles%ness are therefore the real
causes of the majority of suspensions.

A WEST POINT SCANDAL.

The Elopement of Lieut Darr with Lieut..
Totten's Wife Fact.
Washington Special.
Official information received at the War De-
partmen: from West Point is to the effect that
the rumored elopement of Lieutenant Darr with
the wife of Lieutenant Totten. of the Fourth Ar
tillerv. which was made public about a month
ago, and which was promptly denied by the rela-
tives of the persons implicated. is fact after
all. It will be remembered that Lieutenant
Darr and Mrs. Totten left West Point and went
to New York together under circumstances
which provoked scandal. But friends of Mrs
Totten explained that this was a mere innocent
coincidence. Darr resign3d his leutenancy
about the same time. His father. who is a very
rich Californian, has been inquiring into the
matter since then, and having come to the con-
clusion that his son was in mischief, urged the
department. not to accept the resignation on the
ground that his son must be certainly insane TO
be acting he was. It is supposed that the de-
partment thereupon instituted an Investigation
and communicated with the officers at West
Point. At all events it was decided not to re-
woke the acceptance of the resignation, which
accordingly went into effect yesterday. From
the papers transmitted and now on file in the
department it appears that the eiopement has
actually taken place. and that Darr and Mrs.

BRAZIL, Ind. Sept. 4-The semi-monthly pay
day was successfully inaugurated in this district
yesterday, in accordance with the demands of
The miners and in compliance with the new law.
The Jackson Coal and Mining Company, which
failed to pay. will pay next Saturday. then every
two weeks There is more or less of dissatisfac-
tion among the miners over this. 1t is thought
in time. this firm will pay with the rest, on the
Grst and third Saturdays of each month. More
trouble was experienced at Coal Bluff, where
the miners quit work on the failure of the Coal
Bluff Mining Company to pay. AS the law
makes sem-monthly pay obligatory, the strike
cannot last long. No serious trouble is reported
from any other part of the State. though the de-
mand Is general. The miners will celebrate their
success in mass meeting Monday, which is La
Dor day, at Pontiac. near Carbon.
